This is looking more and more like an illustrated list of guided missiles, or even list of U.S. Navy guided missiles. A couple of pictures are good, but the detail and pictures of each missile should be in a separate article about that missile. -- John Owens 20:52 27 May 2003 (UTC)

Looks more like a list of German WWII missiles to me...
- I'm thinking maybe we should have some more history on missile guidance? The fact that we went almost completely from guns to missiles post-WWII is pretty significant, so if this article can cover the development from early German research to today's Sidewinders and AMRAAMs then that'd be nice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.226.229.155 (talk) 01:09, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong information[edit]

"By the end of WWII all forces had widely introduced unguided rockets using HEAT warheads as their major anti-tank weapon". Wrong in several ways: 1. Only the US and Germany had a large number of anti-armor rockets available. GB had the PIAT, which is not a rocket and the Red Army, while using large numbers of captured German Panzerfausts, had no own dedicated anti-tank rockets fielded at all iirc. 2. Even by the end of the war, Germany's main anti tank weapon was the PAK, or anti tank artillery.
